Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound spaghetti
1/3 cup olive oil
1/4 cup drained capers, patted dry
2 cups coarse fresh bread crumbs (from a baguette)
1/2 cup chopped dill
2 to 3 (3 3/4-ounces) cans sardines in olive oil
4 garlic cloves

Steps:

  • Cook spaghetti in a pasta pot of well- salted boiling water until al dente.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat until it shimmers. Fry capers until they "bloom" and are just a shade darker, about 2 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. Toast bread crumbs in same skillet, stirring, until golden, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and toss with capers, dill, and 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper.
  • Add sardines to skillet with their oil (if using 3 cans sardines, discard oil from 1 can) over medium-high heat, then force garlic through a garlic press into skillet. Sauté until sardines are golden in spots around edges, about 2 minutes.
  • Reserve 1 cup pasta-cooking water, then drain pasta. Add pasta to skillet with cooking water and 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Toss until pasta is coated and sauce is slightly thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve topped with seasoned crumbs.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of salt in the recipe next time.

I'm not a huge fan of sardines, but I loved this dish! The dill and fried capers really balanced out the flavor of the sardines. I would definitely make this again.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover sardines. I had a can of sardines in my pantry that I didn't know what to do with, and this recipe was the perfect solution. The dish was quick and easy to make, and it was delicious.

I'm always looking for new ways to cook sardines, and this recipe did not disappoint! The fried capers added a nice crunch and the dill brightened up the dish. I served it with a side of crusty bread and it was a perfect meal.
